gp: so then ...well after mukuro beats the life out of the madarai bros she confronts ryoko and... well things start to go wrong as we know mukuro is currently evil in the timeline not yet holding doubts about her sister and being an overall lapdog though interaction with other people is helping, slowly but for now shes evil and its... well personally I think it's beautiful
At that point I suddenly realized it.
ryoko: Then, you're working with Junko Enoshima?
As I glared at her blamingly, mukuro hesitantly responded, as if embarrassed.
mukuro: Well, working with her, it's more like she's…my…sister…
ryoko: Huh?
It was too sudden of a confession. Mukuro Ikusaba and Junko Enoshima are sisters… Wait that's even worse than just working together isn't it?
soulbound: wait wouldn't this be a bad realization since you told her mukuro was her sister
gp: bold of you to assume the universe would make her realize her true identity so soon
soulbound: fair
mukuro: But even though we're sisters and we're connected by blood…all of that doesn't mean anything to her. After all, all that girl looks for is despair, other people's despair, her own despair, that's all that exists for her…
All of a sudden it looked like mukuro's eyes were gazing far away.
That's why, whoever it may be, whatever situation it may be, whatever world it may be, it just all means nothing to her, unless she is dealing with despair. That's the world of the girl known as Ultimate Despair, Junko Enoshima.
ryoko: W-What the…but that's ridiculous!
mukuro: Yes, it's ridiculous. That's what Junko Enoshima is.
Hearing her response, I felt a new sensation of dread. This time it was creeping up from my feet bit by bit.
mukuro: Yes, she really is ridiculous…to the point of despair, she's the lowest, worst sister ever but…that's why I can't leave her alone. That's why I have to help her. After all, I'm the only one who can understand her.
Then, looking at the face mukuro showed me, I was suddenly taken aback. The ever so emotionless face was, ecstatic and smiling.
mukuro: I don't know if…she is attracting despair or despair is attracting her but…she has lived her whole life with despair by her side. She lived while immersed in despair. That's why she began looking for despair in others. She learned to enjoy pushing people into despair. But you know, that's normal. It's the same as someone being cursed by misfortune fall into hatred for those who aren't. But what's special about her was that, she learned to enjoy inflicting despair onto herself. That's how the link to despair began. As she chased down despair, she pushed it onto others on the way. Doing so, it caused her to desire falling into despair even more…and because of that chain to despair, the Ultimate Despair was born.
While she spoke, it was like she fell into a fever, the expressions on her face turned into ecstasy. It was so completely absurd that it would have been hard for anybody to think of it as anything but a joke, but I understood that this was real. It might've been because the memories of Junko Enoshima inside me led to that conclusion.
mukuro: Hey, you don't get it right? I don't think anybody could. But you know, only I can understand it…
Consumed by ecstasy, even mukuro's breaths began to become ragged.
Only I am able of understanding her. That's why she needs me. She still hasn't realized that but, maybe she is only pretending not to realize. Ufu, that's because she's so shy. Ufufufu.
Seeing this intoxicated mukuro continue to talk like that, repelled me. I knew that she definitely didn't have normal feelings for Junko Enoshima,
gp: ... kinda hot
soulbound: GP!
gp: hey I only take account that rjs my daughter not her I never met mukuro personally it be an insult to her if I meshed her in without consent
also you know I love evil, and her monologue was spewing with it!
soulbound: not to mention it basically confirms Junko had a trouble past
both: YET EVERYONE IGNORES IT!
gp: so annoying, but anyway!
ok so after kinda unwinding the tension but then! mukuro said she knew where Matsuda was
and for her to spill she had to make a deal with her
what the deal entailed though...
mukuro: In order for me to tell you Yasuke Matsuda's whereabouts, an exchange is required.
ryoko: E-Exchange?
mukuro then pointed towards the Madarais laying on the floor and spoke with a low voice.
mukuro: Those people laying over there still don't know about the last remaining member of the student council, the student council president, being murdered. I'm sure if they found out, they would fall into despair…despair strong enough to push them to even die for the sake of revenge.
ryoko: W-What are you saying?
My voice filled with tension, even I understood what she was talking about.
mukuro: If you leave them be, I'm sure they would go and kill Yasuke Matsuda.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Soon, those words began to spin around in my head.
ryoko: Why does Matsuda need to die…the student council president's murder has nothing to do with him!
mukuro: That's not true, it does have something to do with him.
mukuro shook her head.
Because Yasuke Matsuda murdered the student council president.
Murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murdered.
mukuro: That's why we'll exchange.
While saying that, she took something out of her pocket and threw it towards my feet.
mukuro: Work your hardest for his sake. If you really love Yasuke Matsuda…then you'd work your hardest for him.
I dropped my eyes towards my feet. Sitting on the moist ground was a knife with Hope's Peak Academy's emblem engraved onto it. The moment I laid eyes on it, my heart began beating with an amount of blood strong enough to break a vessel.
mukuro: To seize hope for both him and yourself…you must work at your hardest.
gp: so yeah mukuro said if rj wants to know where Matsuda is then she gotta KILL THE MADARIAS
soulbound: of course she's gonna do it, it's in her nature I doubt she'd be a higher person especially when all sighs encourage her why should I expect better of her
gp: ehem ok so all signs do point to her to do it but shes unsure and afraid herself she pauses in fear but then she sees it
Guess who's back
Back again
The ghost depravity!
who is all too happy at her misery
and so ryoko heard a bellowus laughter reverberate in her ear as a spirit formed while its outfit bared mined to that of Gabriel's the details on its face where extremely lower if nonexistent as it had a see-though ethereal like glow with void white eyes and no mouth his hands where small and he had empty holes where his feet should be as his entire body was colorless only in arrays of grayscale as the only thing to truly stand out was the large bloodstain on his neck it was the ghost depravity
[DEPRAVITY]
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Can't you see?!
This is your destiny!
CELIBRATE!
This is why you were born!
This is what you were made for!
This is who you will be!
The rest of your long life through!
Now this life that was yours!
Belongs not only to you!
Now you know what you must be!
Now you know what you must do!
hahahah!
ryoko: w-what are you
depravity: aw how innocent you don't recognize me me me
ryoko: g-Gabriel?
depravity: oh no no maybe I once started as him but I'm so much more (yes more)
he had a voice that echoed and contorted sometimes it felt like multiple people where speaking at once when he spoke
you've been a very bad girl, you've hurt so many people and that's me! I'm all the people you've ever hurt, given form and one last chance to make you hurt
now some of them say ITS USELESS useless useless just like you saying you enjoy us oh nonononononono we know better I know you you still feel pain from what happens you just say you enjoy it and that may be true true but-t-tt I know you, it will get old every cruel word, every life taken, every tear shed, it chips away at your soul and soon... soon you'll break and then then then then then! I'll have it! it will be my day! depravity's day! when all the sins you hold will come crashing down on you, it's only a matter of time
not that I'll let down on this guilt I pour on you no...no... cause when the day comes, when you lose everything, when you have nothing, when you destroyed everything you ever cared about and you're all alone... I'll still be there, I'll still tell you everything you've done even when you forget I will always remined you till you die, and even after death I will live on I will never go away till you repent repent repent repent repent repent repent repent
ryoko: I don't know what I did but please I'm sorry!
depravity: not you! your sorrow means nothing only the real you can repent how can I expect you to repent when you don't even know what you did, and even if you did I know you Long enough you'll never repent you miserable Welch! Your truly hopeless so just get on with it this is what everyone expects of you after all you're a monster monster monster monster monster and that's all anyone will ever see you as! you pathetic mislabel being your life was a mistake that's true I know you were born an accident you came out and your parents face instantly got filled with disappointment they were ok with one child but you? oh you would just waste so much of their life do you know how much it cost to raise a child? about $233,610 that's you, you are $233,610 worth of wasted space they could have used on something else like 242 pairs of Carrie Bradshaw's Cinderella-like Manolo Blahnik pumps. 4,690 hardcover copies of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. (Witch is much more enjoyable than your sorry existence) A 3-day vacation on Necker Island, where the Obamas were recently living their best lives. (Though you'd have to buy out the whole island. Such a tough life. not as tough as dealing with you but still) 1,174 Sync Couples Vibrators . (Witch they could have had all the time to use but instead they had to waste time taking care of your sorry butt.) 7 Camaro's just like Shane West's in A Walk to Remember. 41,056 pints of Ben and Jerry's new non-dairy ice cream. 9,344 "Nasty Woman" T-shirts that just-so-happen to support Planned Parenthood (which they should have used to get rid of you while they still had the chance, but then again mukuro wouldn't have been born see even your non-existence ruins lives!). 180 round-trip tickets from Doha, Qatar to Auckland, New Zealand, the world's longest flight. (But hey, you get 12 drinks out of the deal.) 10,232 copies of Chrissy Teigen's Cravings cookbook. (So much food they never got to eat cause they had to waste money making sure you where feed.) 311 of Vitamix's most expensive blender. so much more to but I think you get it thankfully you were treated like the mistake you where! which would be sooooo saaaaad, but I can't afford to care due to how you turned out you pathetic waste of space the only thing your good for is emitting co2 for the plants to live but even still a basement dweller living with their parents who just rubs themselves on an anime body pillow all day does a better job at it then you
ryoko: stop please stop!
depravity: no... I don't think I will, you never stopped so why should we? besides even if you are different that look on your face, right now... oh I love it too much it's so beautiful... not your actual looks you're a hideous creature but that look in your eyes, the fear the sorrow the suffering ohhh... it's a face you rarely make, hiding all your true emotions deep down seeing just how much of a scared, pathetic helpless girl you are it makes my existence worth while
so just get on with it! kill him it's all your good for, you won't chance so just do it!
do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it ...
he repeated on and on
soulbound: she might as well it's not like she won't do it...
gp: she dosent do it
From there, as if to shake off the delusions floating up into my head, I soon screamed once again.
ryoko: I-I-I can't do it!
While my hand was ridged from reaching out towards the knife, my head ached from fear of the simulation
that just flew by my mind.
soulbound straitens with surprise
soulbound: she dosent?!
siramay secretly watching ryoko from afar
siramay: she dosent?
the a million readers reading dr0: she dosent?
Kodaka writing dr0: She dosent!
depravity: ... coward
and he vanishes
soulbound: slowly claps
not bad kid
gp: eh see! I told yah she has a good heart!
shes not inherently evil there's still hope for her!
soulbound: we'll see
so then what?
gp: ah yes! ok so ryoko has a panic attack, or mental breakdown I donno she ends up on the ground crying for Matsuda
poor rj... I just wish I could hug her myself and tell her everything's going to be ok
so mukuro having pity on her tells her Matsuda's location anyway
so ryoko goes off to that!
WAIT RYOKO YOU FORGOT TO TELL HER YOU LOVE HER!
soulbound: but not Alabama style love only familial
gp: YEAH!
before ryoko could leave she heard Gabriel's voice in her head and remembered what he said
"I know you don't remember but she works her but off for you doing whatever she can to comfort you and make you happy, and I know shes not the smartest so she dosent know exactly how to help you, but she tries her best... and you never thanked her or said how much it means to you and while it's obvious you love her you should tell her cause Sometimes the words We tend to withhold are exactly the words Someone needs to be told,
so please tell her later"
ryoko was unsure if she should do to her actions but she did tell her where Matsuda was
and it's what Gabe would want... so she turned around and...
ryoko: I don't tell you I love you enough do I?
mukuro: huh?
mukuro looked surprised
ryoko: you clearly work so hard to help me and I barely do anything for you in return
so I wanted to say, thank you for everything you've done even if I don't remember it you're a great person and I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world
except Matsuda
you mean a lot to me... I love you
honestly she couldn't remember much but it felt like all those words she said where true somewhere deep within her even if she couldn't remember it
mukuro then looked back at her as her face had adorned a heartwarming smile as she simply said
mukuro: thank you
gp: so then ryoko went off!
soulbound: how did she not realize the oddity in her heredity
gp: short term memory!
soulbound: that's fair
gp: but as she drew closer and closer to her destination she felt a familiar coldness in her soul as all the events that happened swirled fresh in her head and the thoughts of her unknown past sins haunt her she didn't wanna be a monster she just wanted to live a normal life with the people she loved but all this ate away at her she didn't even know who she was anymore (mentally not literally) as she pondered what to do
[Ryoko:]
Look at you, look at me
I don't know who to be
father
Is it wrong, is it right?
Be a thief in the night
father
Tell me what to do...
and as she said that who formed in front of her but the ghost depravity
[Depravity:]
why so surprised?
I said I was all your victims after all
I was once like you my child
Slightly insecure
Argued with my lover too
Thought I was mature
But I put my heart aside
And I used my head
Now I think it's time you learned
What dear old papa said
Don't you wanna be evil like me?
Don't you wanna be mean?
Don't you wanna make mischief your daily routine?
Well you can spend your life attending to the poor
But when you're evil doing less is doing more
Don't you wanna be ruthless and rotten and mad?
Don't you wanna be very, very good at being bad?
I have tried my whole life long to do the worst I can
Clawed my way to victory
Part of this master plan
Now the time has come my dear for you to take your place
Promise me you'll try to be an absolute disgrace
Don't you wanna be evil like me?
Don't you wanna be cruel?
Don't you wanna be nasty and brutal and cool?
And when you grab that gun that's when your reign begins
Who wants an evil queen without a sack of sins?
Don't you wanna be heartless and hardened as stone?
Don't you wanna be finger licking' evil to the bone?
as he sang it seemed the world around him morphed to a black void as depravity rose above her
This is not for you to ponder
This was preordained
You shall rule this world forever
despair soon regain
Master of the universe, powerful and strong
Darkness, hear me
Help me, join me!
Won't you sing along?
as he grabbed hold of her trying to pull out the worst in her as she relapsed
[Both:]
Now we're gonna be evil!
It's true!
Never gonna think twice
[Junko:]
And we're gonna be spiteful
[Depravity:]
Yes, spiteful!
how nice
though she quickly reverts back but was all to lucid of the darkness she was temporarily consumed by and gags in disgust trying not to collapse to the floor
In just an hour or two
your future's safe and sure
This grand creator act is going out on tour
If you wanna be evil and awful and free
Then you should thank your lucky star
That you were born the girl you are
The apprentice of an evilicious king
Like me!
YEAH!
then it seemed ryoko woke up from her delusion back to where she was standing as she heard a voice
Muse: WAIT!
WAIT!
IS SAID WAAAAIIITT
as the muse stopped in front of her and started breathing heavily
I... wanted to tell you something... before you go in there
ryoko didn't know what the muse was planning to say possibly more of his nonsensical ramblings but what she wasn't expecting was
siramay: Thank you
ryoko: huh!? what for
siramay: For proving to me you can be a good person,
ryoko: what?
siramay: I'll be honest I didn't think much of you when I first saw you and sure it's not like you donated to a charity of blind orphans, but you really are a sweet weirdo of a woman, and your heart is in the right place even if your heads in the clouds
I really care about you buddy so... I got your back in the future...
then his face saddens
I know what happens next and there's no way around it but the fact that you can be a good person. It gives me hope for you...good luck
he begins to walk off before quickly turning around
oh yeah!
he then pulls out a paper from my coat pocket and with a flick of his fingers it burns to ashes before my eyes
I may like you but your other side has a long way to go before I let them know about me
so yeah sorry buddy but you won't remember my existence when I'm gone... but you're a strong girl so just keep fighting the good fight if you can stay in her even though her darkest hour she will gain her repentance... but anyway see yah!
he then turns around and walks off as he says
I hope luck blesses you with his love...
and with that he disappeared from view
and my memory...
wait why am I standing around for? Matsuda needs me!
and so she ran off
to her doom
